All We Have

In this article (from November 2004, about going back to see her childhood home) comes the gift of her words:

"Memory is a tease and an illusion, a seducer and a liar

- and mostly all we have of who we were back then."

So poetic and so very Beth.

So serendipitious for me to see right now.

And so very, very true.

Hey M. Cool pic. I've been meaning to email you and say thanks for sending me the book! I can't even remember the title (about NC women in a nursing home and their relationships), but it was lovely! I already passed it on to my son's teacher. Many thanks!
